I live in an area without cell phone coverage and the local landline provider wanted about $8,000 to extend their service to our property. So I went with satellite internet via xplornet, which cost only $300 to install https://www.xplornet.com/
Amazing difference - download speed is FOUR times faster than what NorthwesTel (Yukon) offered and is much more reliable. Upload speed is also faster and without errors - with NorthwesTel I often had to re-upload images 2-6 times to have a successful upload.
We also have VOIP (phone with the satellite service). It is very good! No delays, no pauses, no issues whatsoever - and we can call anywhere in North America without long distance charges.
The internet in Yukon often fails for hours or days. We're no longer affected by that issue. The cost is also less per month.
Latency isn't an issue because it is still faster than what the local service provider offered via DSL. Aging infrastructure along the Alaska Highway is the problem.
